I don’t think they’re considered non-canon. I see them as all the boning that occurred during the story. There has been passage of time mentioned in certain lines.Speaking with mods on their discord it seems most of the legit criticism revolves around the Pandora system. Its not so much about having to actually play for NSFW scenes but how it is set up. FOW never informed us during Kickstarter that all scenes would be non-canon and have no narrative/context. Its basically just an animation gallery you unlock by playing the game. I too was very disappointed when I realized this, to me, the whole point of erotic games is to have context and narrative to the porn.
They probably did this to massively simplify how people can choose what nsfw content to see instead of giving us branching story arcs and routes with different fetishes represented. They essentially took the easy way out and gave us empty sex animations that all seem to be fake simulations projected by the Pandora system. Very disappointing….
Well there is a space between erotic games and non-erotic games that is “ecchi” games. Games that are sexualized without explicit erotic content. Lots of people enjoy those kind of games and we have “No Sexual Content” tag for those games. They dont really belong on normal game sites due to their sexualized content so most of them still belong here imo
But they were shown like this to spare the folks that didn’t want to see the xeno animations and have it be optional viewing.
Course this didn’t stop endless arguments over the mantics and whether they constitute NTR (they don’t), so I dunno.
